You're complaining because you've manage to squeeze 250,000 km in ten years out of a 4-cylinder Mercedes with no mechanical breakdown? Everyone I know has had one electric window motor problem at least once in their cars within 10 years. And if all you're worried about is the paint on the power window button which doesn't last 10 years (but still functions), count yourself lucky. Mercedes had a bad reputation for the most of the '90s because of reliability problems.
